Investment Q&A

Q: I’m struggling with why you would think GSY would do well in a recession. They serve sub prime customers with very little discretionary disposable income. Wouldn’t you expect these customers to be most impacted by unemployment, lost wages etc which would then drive late payments and then eventually loan losses. Initially I would expect GSY would take a similar approach to banks by deferring payments for customers to limit losses but eventually they will need to take them. New business will be impacted with branch closures, not to mention their leasing business, historically the reliable cash cow will be impacted as well without the foot traffic. Given the adjustment that big banks have taken to their stock prices over the last 3 weeks. GSYs massive drop looks warranted to me.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

In a recession how will PEO business be effected ? Any debt concerns?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

PKI has been beaten up by market more than TSX - A couple of days ago you ranked it 4th or 5th of 5 options given .

Should we consider it unfairly ravaged or does it deserve it ?

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Hi,
Much like LSPD in my previous question, I didn't ever except to see GSY down from $80 to $21. I took a small portion in GSY at around $27.60.

I read other comments on GSY , but just thought if you had anything new to say, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Q: Why does Tricon seem to be falling more then other similar REITs? I would have thought this type of business is a lot more defensive or relatively more resistant to turmoil of this nature... people still gotta pay their rent? Thanks

Q: In light of your response about GUD having as much cash as their market cap, would you consider this a reasonable risk - reward tradeoff to enter a position at its current price ($5.13 as writing this question). Thanks and stay well.

Q: If not already asked....opinion on Q4/19 results & guidance on Photon Control...Q1/20 pre-lim revenue looks great. Did 5i listen in on conference call today?? Thanks as always, jb Piedmont QC PS: everyone stay safe & healthy

Q: Hi.

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined LSPD at $11.03 and closing at $12. Is this the beginning of the end of a company like LSPD if the coronavirus issue continues to persist?

Thanks

Q: Is there any company specific reason why GSY is down 27% today (so far) after major falls in price over the previous few days. Is this a serious buy opportunity?

Q: I would have thought GDI would be in a sweet spot given the current circumstances re COVID 19 and the need for enhanced cleaning etc.. Do you expect it will benefit?

Q: How much cash to they have??

Q: Do you see the regulators changing the rules for what non prime lenders can charge to help Canadians and essentially the client base of GSY and how would that impact on the company and the stock. Why do you think the stock sold off so much today?

Q: I have a question about Real Matters Inc. I know the market is down generally but a 40% haircut in one day! Have you heard anything?

Q: Does the company pay a dividend monthly? Why the stock dropped so much? Is it safe to buy at this level?
Thanks

Q: what is expected from fsz tomorrow?

Q: Could you please comment on Boyd's earnings release.

Thank you, Peter

Q: What’s your current thoughts on CAE? long term holder but a large portion of my gains have been lost recently. I assume due to the thought the demand for simulators and their services will drop?
